The page gives the verse in Hebrew as the Westminster Leningrad Codex has it, its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies, built from MACULA Hebrew — and its pragmatics: who acts — Boaz, thou, you — and what happens in the verse to field, read clause by clause by Mova's frames. Beside it stand the Aramaic of the Targum and the English of the Jewish Publication Society's 1917 translation, each English sentence with a tree of its own. It is one of the 4 chapters of Ruth on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. וַיֹּאמֶר֩ בֹּ֨עַז אֶל־ר֜וּת הֲל֧וֹא שָׁמַ֣עַתְּ בִּתִּ֗י אַל־תֵּלְכִי֙ לִלְקֹט֙ בְּשָׂדֶ֣ה אַחֵ֔ר וְגַ֛ם לֹ֥א תַעֲבוּרִ֖י מִזֶּ֑ה וְכֹ֥ה תִדְבָּקִ֖ין עִם־נַעֲרֹתָֽי׃ [Then said Boaz unto Ruth: 'Hearest thou not, my daughter?](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/RUT.33/) [Go not to glean in another field, neither pass from hence, but abide here fast by my maidens.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/RUT.34/) ## The tree {#tree} Right to left, as the Hebrew is read; a prefix or suffix is a word of its own, and a line under the words joins those written as one. Under each word its part of speech and MACULA's English gloss. ```conllu rtl gloss # sent_id = wlc:RUT:29 # text = וַיֹּאמֶר֩ בֹּ֨עַז אֶל־ר֜וּת הֲל֧וֹא שָׁמַ֣עַתְּ בִּתִּ֗י אַל־תֵּלְכִי֙ לִלְקֹט֙ בְּשָׂדֶ֣ה אַחֵ֔ר וְגַ֛ם לֹ֥א תַעֲבוּרִ֖י מִזֶּ֑ה וְכֹ֥ה תִדְבָּקִ֖ין עִם־נַעֲרֹתָֽי׃ # verse = RUT.2.8 1-2 וַיֹּאמֶר֩ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=RUT_2:8!1|MId=o080020080011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּאמֶר֩ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=RUT_2:8!1|MId=o080020080012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:080020080021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 בֹּ֨עַז בֹּעַז PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Boaz|Ref=RUT_2:8!2|MId=o080020080021|Strong=1162 4 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=RUT_2:8!3|MId=o080020080031|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 5 ר֜וּת רוּת PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Ruth|Ref=RUT_2:8!4|MId=o080020080041|Strong=7327 6-7 הֲל֧וֹא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 הֲ הֲ PART _ _ 8 advmod _ Gloss=?|Ref=RUT_2:8!5|MId=o080020080051|Strong=1886b|Type=interrogative 7 ל֧וֹא לֹא ADV _ _ 8 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=RUT_2:8!5|MId=o080020080052|Strong=3808|Type=negative 8 שָׁמַ֣עַתְּ שָׁמַע VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 ccomp _ Gloss=have.you.heard|Ref=RUT_2:8!6|MId=o080020080061|Strong=8085|Frame=A0:080020080071;|Type=qatal 9-10 בִּתִּ֗י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 בִּתּ בַּת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 8 parataxis _ Gloss=my.daughter|Ref=RUT_2:8!7|MId=o080020080071|Strong=1323 10 ִ֗י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 9 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=RUT_2:8!7|MId=o080020080072|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 11 אַל־ אַל ADV _ _ 12 advmod _ Gloss=do.not|Ref=RUT_2:8!8|MId=o080020080081|Strong=0408|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 12 תֵּלְכִי֙ הלך VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 8 parataxis _ Gloss=go|Ref=RUT_2:8!9|MId=o080020080091|Strong=1980|Frame=A0:080020080071;|Type=jussive 13-14 לִלְקֹט֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=RUT_2:8!10|MId=o080020080101|Strong=3807a 14 לְקֹט֙ לָקַט VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 12 advcl _ Gloss=glean|Ref=RUT_2:8!10|MId=o080020080102|Strong=3950|Frame=A0:080020080071;|Type=infinitive_construct 15-16 בְּשָׂדֶ֣ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=RUT_2:8!11|MId=o080020080111|Strong=0871a 16 שָׂדֶ֣ה שָׂדֶה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 obl _ Gloss=a.field|Ref=RUT_2:8!11|MId=o080020080112|Strong=7704 17 אַחֵ֔ר אַחֵר ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 amod _ Gloss=another|Ref=RUT_2:8!12|MId=o080020080121|Strong=0312|Type=adjective 18-19 וְגַ֛ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=RUT_2:8!13|MId=o080020080131|Strong=2050b 19 גַ֛ם גַּם ADV _ _ 21 advmod _ Gloss=also|Ref=RUT_2:8!13|MId=o080020080132|Strong=1571|Type=affirmation 20 לֹ֥א לֹא ADV _ _ 21 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=RUT_2:8!14|MId=o080020080141|Strong=3808|Type=negative 21 תַעֲבוּרִ֖י עָבַר VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 8 conj _ Gloss=you.must.pass.on|Ref=RUT_2:8!15|MId=o080020080151|Strong=5674|Frame=A0:080020080071;|Type=yiqtol 22-23 מִזֶּ֑ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=RUT_2:8!16|MId=o080020080161|Strong=4480 23 זֶּ֑ה זֶה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 21 obl _ Gloss=this.[field]|Ref=RUT_2:8!16|MId=o080020080162|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 24-25 וְכֹ֥ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 26 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=RUT_2:8!17|MId=o080020080171|Strong=2050b 25 כֹ֥ה כֹּה ADV _ _ 26 advmod _ Gloss=thus|Ref=RUT_2:8!17|MId=o080020080172|Strong=3541 26-27 תִדְבָּקִ֖ין _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 תִדְבָּקִ֖י דָּבַק VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 8 conj _ Gloss=you|Ref=RUT_2:8!18|MId=o080020080181|Strong=1692|Frame=A0:080020080071;|Type=yiqtol 27 ן נ X _ _ 26 nmod _ Gloss=will.stay|Ref=RUT_2:8!18|MId=o080020080182|Strong=4993b|Type=paragogic_nun 28 עִם־ עִם ADP _ _ 29 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=RUT_2:8!19|MId=o080020080191|Strong=5973|SpaceAfter=No 29-30 נַעֲרֹתָֽי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 נַעֲרֹת נַעֲרָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 26 obl _ Gloss=servants|Ref=RUT_2:8!20|MId=o080020080201|Strong=5291 30 ָֽי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 29 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my.female|Ref=RUT_2:8!20|MId=o080020080202|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 31 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 30 punct _ Ref=RUT_2:8!20 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
